The government is enacting a Sunday closing of postoffices in many cities. The mails are distributed and an hour left for getting mail from lock boxes, but the general delivery: and call box windows are kept closed and no stamps are sold. The order has not yet reached Rensselaer, but is in effect at many places. Charley Olson, the big wrestler who threw Sam Murbarger here last Saturday night, won his match from Walter Willoughby in Chicago Monday night After he had tffrown Willoughby the first fall he lost a fall in just 25 seconds. He then, came baek and won the third fall. Dr. Roller, won from Demetral, a Chicago Greek, after a hard struggle.

L. B. Elmore, the Remington garage man and automobile salesman, was in Rensselaer yesterday with a couple of Remington gentlemen. Blanchard recently had a page advertisement in The Republican for the Richmond, a fine 5-passenger, 35 horse power ma» chine with an especially nice looking body and one of the most attractive cars we have ever seen. The cost of the car as advertised was $1,275, but the agent was making a special offer for a short time only. Four of these cars <were sold in the neighborhood of Remington this year and others are looking upon them favorably. Robert Johnston, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert P. Johnston, of Lafayette, and a grandson of E. L. Clark, of Rensselaer, was injured Monday morning at about 4 o’clock, by being run over by a horse and light wagon. Robert is a carrier for the Morning Journal and was on his way to work on his bicycle when a horse and light wagon was driven rapidly out of "an alley. The horse struck the boy and knocked him off the wheel and the wagon passed over his prostrate body. He was taken to a bouse near the scene of the accident and later removed to his home. His arms and body were cut by the wheels of the wagon and his jaw was injured. It is not thought that the accident will result seriously. Robert is 10 years of age. J. W. Marion was down from Gillam township today, paying taxes and looking after some business affairs. He was slightly injured a few days ago by a colt which he was holding. The animal lunged and twisted. one of his legs until he thought for a time it was broken, but after using crutches a few days he came out feeling tolerably good. He reports that a white English sparrow has made its winter headquarters at his farm and is now there. It is a female and he thinks' is now nesting. It is all white except the tall and the tips of the wings, : which are brown. It is tamer than the ordinary sparrows afid has become quite a pet, although, of course, it will not permit itself to be caught. Wheat looks very good up Gillam way except in spots. The fly worked on the early sown wheat last fall but does not seem to have put in an appearance this spring.

Oscar Stibbe was down from Union township today. He looked over to the northwest in the evening to see what the light was that has attracted so much attention and has set his eyes on the evening star. He is certain that there has been no artificial light and that those who think there has been are mistaken. Jupiter is now the evening star, Mr. Stibbe says, and it is much more brilliant than iti neighbors. It sets about 9 o'clock and before long will not be visible at all. Oscar is somewhat of an astronomy student and don’t think much of calling old Jupiter an airship. He says that if you look at the star for some time you are apt to imagine that it is moving about and that it sets by Jerks, but that is an optical illusion,as Jupiter sets steadily. We are not sure Just what some of our people have seen but if they are looking at the bright light that is high in the northwest in the early evening and sets about 9 o’clock, it is the evening star and our Union township friend is right.
